Marriage of Eliza Ann McColley and George Purnell Fisher

Eliza Ann McColley, daughter of Rev Truston Polk McColley and Hester Smith McColley, entered into marriage with young attorney George Purnell Fisher in Kent County, Delaware, uniting two families long rooted in the civic, legal, and religious life of Dover. Their union linked the McColleys' Methodist lineage and local landholding interests with Fisher's rising career in law and public service, forming a partnership that would shape their place in mid-nineteenth-century Delaware society. - AsNotedIn
